My experience was probably one of the most personalized and exceptional ones I have had in my extensive travel experiences. It started before I left home with the hotel e-mailing me for any dietary restrictions, and asking if I needed a transfer from the airport. The airport transfer was arranged lightening fast and was excellent. I have a rare allergic disease, and am VERY limited in what I can eat. The chef made sure foods I could eat were stocked, made a list for all meals for me, and handmade some special items. He came out and spoke with me the first day to make sure there was nothing else he could do to help. To say this was exceptional does not do it justice. It made me feel safe, cared for, and that they put the customer needs and experience above all else. The hotel itself is a small and personalized boutique hotel. Our room was spotless, comfortable, enough room to have a massage done!, it had a very updated bathroom with a rainforest shower. Plenty of closet space, in room safe, mini bar, LOTS of television options in English (where if you travel to Europe a lot, you know is a treat). The coordination of services was incredible. If we were down at dinner, they communicated with housekeeping to turn down the room. You did not have to tell them who you were, what your room was, they just knew every guest by name, room, such great attention and touches!!!! If you needed it, they arranged it. Lastly, incredible central location. We were in the heart of everything.

This is my review of the Hotel Electra Palace in Athens.
I recently visited for a short break with my partner, the hotel is ideally located for the major tourist sites and is very close to the tube station.
Upon arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite room 235 which was an extremely pleasant surprise..The room was very spacious with excellent views of The Acropolis from the balcony. Locally manufactured toiletries were provided and I must confess we appropriated a few.
The check in staff and breakfast team were all extremely pleasant and helpful as were all the staff throughout the hotel.
A great choice was provided for breakfast with both a hot and cold buffet and we never waited long for a table. Unfortunately on the night we planned to eat at the restaurant where the view from the rooftop is spectacular there was a private function but the team booked us a table at The Old Tavern of Psaras, an excellent choice..
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a visit to Athens, five stars from me!

my stay at the Royal olympic was very good, very classy hotel, with a great breakfast selection to start your day with a stunning view, friendly staff, general feel of the standard rooms were nice but more like 4star than 5, but the better rooms and suites are fantastic with fantastic views, no iron or ironing board available in the rooms but that was about it with the short comings, I would definitely stay there again maybe this summer a thumbs up from me

Beautiful hotel, easy walk to acropolis, Plaka and central Athens. Excellent breakfast with many hot/cold/local options with gorgeous views of acropolis and temple of zeus. Staff were all friendly and helpful, even with a 2am check in. I have only wonderful things to say about this hotel, and it was a great value on top of it all.

When we go to a foreign country and stay in a hotel, we expect homely feeling and that's what Hotel Grand Bretagne had provided. From the hotel setting, to the comfortable bed, to the warm and happy smile of the staff, we feel at home. Not to mention the very nice decor that is most probably the best in Athens. We got a room overlooking the Acropolis and we felt so close to Greek history.

This hotel is good value for money, has very friendly and helpful staff, and is in close walking distance of all the main archaeological sites. It is also in the old part of town which is very atmospheric. There are lots of places to eat within a five/ten minute walk - spoilt for choice. February was an excellent time to stay - pleasantly bustling, warm enough to eat outside for lunch and sit under heated awnings for an evening drink. The hotel breakfast was first rate.
